Βηθσαϊδά [WH -σαιδά; see I, ει] and (Mt. xi. 21 RG T WH) -δάν, ἡ, indecl. but with ace. [which may, however, be only the alternate form just given; ef. WH. App. p- 160] Βηθσαϊδάν [B. 17 (16 sq.); Win. 61 (60); Tdf. Proleg. p. 119 sq.], (Syr- \; Aus i. 6. house or place of hunting or fishing), Bethsaida; 1. a small city (πόλις, Jn. i. 44 (45)) or a village (κώμη. Mk. viii. 22. 23) on the western shore of the Lake of Gennesaret: Jn. i. 44 (45); Mt. xi. 21; Mk. vi. 45; Lk. x. 13 [here Lmrg. Trmrg. Βηδσαϊῖδά: cf. Τὰ Proieg. ἃ. s.]; Jn. xii. 21 (where τῆς Γαλιλαίας is added). 2. a village in lower Gaulanitis on the eastern shore of Lake Gennesaret, not far from the place where the Jordan empties into it. Philip the tetrarch so increased its population that it was reckoned as a city, and was called Julias in honor of Julia, the daughter of the emperor Augustus (Joseph. antt. 18, 2,1; Plin. ἢ. π. 5,15). Many think that this city is referred to in Lk. ix. 10, on account of Mk. vi. 32,45; Jn. vi. 1; others that the Evangelists disagree. Cf. Win. RWB. s. y.; Raumer p. 122 sq.; [BB.DD. s. v. 3. In Jn. v. 2 Lehm. mrg. WH mrg. read Βηθσαϊδά; see 5. v. Bnbecda.]
